Wow, I didn’t think it would take that much time. I think that physically if all goes well, she will be ok. I think it’s more about training the body to hold it in for extended period of time. I think that is going to be the challenge.i was thinking that she may be able to go back after a month. Maybe she can go back as half days in the beginning & of course she will be allowed unlimited bathroom breaks. Thanks for your input. That sounds like you are doing great at a year after surgery. I think that holding it for 8 hours is pretty good!
